Nissan NP200 Review: Lekker little bakkie - Performance

Reviewed by Shawn Jooste

Performance

We tested the 1.5 dCi Base model, which as the name suggests is a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Power output from the 1.5-litre diesel is a mere 63kW, but coupled with 200Nm of torque the overall performance feeling is very good. It’s front wheel drive, and comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox, which has quite a refined change for a bakkie.

It’s not a blistering racing machine, but it’s a fantastic multi purpose vehicle, you’ll be forgiven for forgetting that you’re actually driving a bakkie.

There are other variations available, a more upmarket 1.5 dCi, and a few 1.6-litre petrol.
